Hi Heather!
Welcome to planDisney!
I’m happy to report that…yes! You’ll be able to purchase
Lightning Lane services for members of your travel party. Like you mentioned, just make sure you two are linked via your
Family & Friends List prior to your Lightning Lane booking window opening.
On the morning you can purchase your Lightning Lane passes, you’ll choose your travel party as part of the prompts you click through using the
My Disney Experience app. During that step, click yourself and whoever else from your Family & Friends List that you’d like to purchase Lightning Lanes for.
It’s good to note that if you don’t have the same booking window as each other, you’ll need to wait until the later booking window opens if you want to purchase and book Lightning Lanes at the same time.
If you’re staying at a
Disney World resort or select good neighbor hotel, your booking window will open at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in date. And if you’re staying off property, your booking window will open at 7 AM Eastern, 3 days prior to the start date of your ticket (for date-based tickets).
So, if you have different check-in dates or are staying at different accommodations (if one person is staying on property and the other is staying off property), you’ll have different booking windows.
I hope that helps! Have the BEST time with your sister! What a fun trip that will be!
Let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan.
